Abstract excerpt
There has been increasing evidence that deranged superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities might be a risk factor for schizophrenia and/or tardive dyskinesia (TD). In the present study, we investigated the genetic association between a functional polymorphism (Ala-9Val) in the human manganese (Mn) SOD gene and schizophrenia or TD (192 schizophrenics: 39 with TD and 153 without TD; 141 controls).
